It is with very heavy hearts that the family of Georgie Evelyn Helpard age 63 of Lorneville, NS announce her sudden passing on Friday, January 20, 2017 at home. Born in Amherst, she was a daughter of the late H. Douglas and Evelyn (Jackson) Haynes.
Georgie was a devoted member of the Lorneville United Church where she sang in the choir, and was a newly appointed Steward of the church. She was also a faithful member of the UCW where she served as Vice President.
Georgie was leader of the Tidnish TOPS program for the past eight years. She loved playing cribbage and was an avid bingo player who could regularly be found travelling the county to enjoy a game. During the summer, you could find Georgie spending time with her family camping at the beach, or snorkelling for clams in the Northumberland Straight. During the winter you could find her in her favourite chair crocheting a beautiful table cloth, some slippers, or a hat for her granddaughters. She also loved cuddling in the evenings with her many fur babies while reading her favourite book or playing a game of Sudoku.
Georgie will be sadly missed by her loving and devoted husband of 45 years, Eric, her children Marlo Richard (Colin Marriott) and Marcia (Cameron) Moyles both of Amherst and Eric Jr. of Lorneville, grandchildren Madison Richard, Mia and Amelia Moyles, brothers Gary (Margaret), Harvey (Judy), Perry (Patricia) and Tommy (Thelma) Haynes, sisters Nancy (Gary) Porter, Anna Kierstead (Donald Fraser), Marilyn Hurley and Melodie (John) Fraser all of the Amherst area and many nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be held on Wednesday, January 25, 2017 from 12 p.m. until the time of the funeral service at 2 p.m. all in Campbell’s Funeral Home, 98 Church St., Amherst (902-667-9906).
